I smiled and said, "Of course I am. First, I'll help Mom get her health back on track. That way, the child will have a better constitution, be smarter, and have a lower chance of getting sick in the future."
Ding Jian seemed somewhat distracted as he replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, yeah, okay, I’ll go along with whatever you say."
I chose not to call him out on his indifference and instead smiled at my mother-in-law. "Don’t worry, your health is in my hands."
The next day, I got up at four and called my mother-in-law. "Mom, I've developed an anti-cancer plan. The first item is to exercise for an hour each morning."
"The second item is to make a Pamela breakfast."
My mother-in-law was still half-asleep and looked quite reluctant. However, upon hearing the word "child," she suddenly perked up.
After exercising, my mother-in-law was exhausted and felt completely drained. My sister-in-law stared at me in disbelief, her anger boiling over as she shouted, "He Xing, what are you doing? You're going to ruin Mom!"
I laughed and replied, "What do you think cancer cells are? If her constitution is weak, how can she fight off cancer cells?"
"Sister-in-law, if you think I'm being too harsh, you can take Mom away anytime."
"I can take better care of her than you ever could."
"Mom, take a break. I've prepared a nutritious meal for you. After you eat, rest for an hour, and then we can start on the second item."
I carried the medicinal juice over to my mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law's expression changed dramatically as she stepped back repeatedly. "What is this? I won't eat it."
I looked at her with a pitiful expression. "This is the Divine Medicine I specially requested for you; it's very expensive."
"For the sake of having a grandchild, what's wrong with eating a little?"
She directly knocked the bowl of medicine to the ground. "I said I won't eat it, so I won't."
"Are you trying to kill me?"
I stared at her. "Mom, what do you mean?"
"How could I possibly harm you?"
"If you don't eat it, how will I know if the cancer cells in your body will spread?"
"Mom, do you have something against me?"
Before she could respond, my sister-in-law jumped out, pointing a finger at me and scolding, "He Xing, are you out of your mind?"
"Mom has already been diagnosed with cancer, and you're treating her like this?"
"You really have no humanity."
I started to cry in grievance. "What’s wrong with me?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"Mom, if you don't take the Chinese medicine and the cancer cells spread, how can you still hope to have a grandchild?"
"Mom, don't you want to hold your grandchild anymore?"
The mother-in-law hesitated. "I... I..."
Ding Jian walked over and hugged me tightly. "Mom, just take the medicine first."
"This... this is superstition; I don't believe in it."
Ding Jian patiently persuaded her. "Mom, it's better to believe in it than not to."
"Just drink it."
Reluctantly, the mother-in-law picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one go.
I leaned against Ding Jian and turned to leave, leaving my mother-in-law and Sister-in-law exchanging glances.
During lunch, my mother-in-law began her complaints again.
"Why is the food so bland today?"
"Xingxing, you used to prepare the freshest and best ingredients for me. Why is it like this today?"
I looked at her with a sense of grievance. "Mom, the doctor said you need to eat light."
"You can't have anything greasy, spicy, or cold."
"I have to take care of your health."
"You just want to hold your grandchild sooner; I want that even more than you do."
My mother-in-law's face turned pale with anger as she slammed down her chopsticks. "I'm not eating anymore."
"Mom, don't be angry; it’s bad for your health."
"If you don’t want to cook, I’ll go out to eat with my sister."
"Weren't you the one who loved dining out the most?"
Before my mother-in-law could respond, Sister-in-law immediately grabbed her hand and nodded repeatedly. "Come on, Mom, let's go have something delicious."
"I'm not going to argue with a woman like her."
